1. Abstract
Changes in the climate can be due to various factors and be caused by various human and natural
activities. With the changes in the climate, there is a sudden drop and increment in the
temperatures which can lead to various changes that may occur on Earth. There can be instances
of climate changes which can cause various activities such as fold, drought, heavy rainfall etc.

there are various identified changes of climate which have impacted glaciers, ocean levels, the
acidity of ocean water and much more. All of these changes are to be occurred in future decades
if the current issues are persistent. These changes are likely to present challenges to the
environment and the society (Klein, 2015).
The research report that has been provided below, the author has paid emphasis on the climatic
changes that are experienced by Australian continent and what are the impacts of the same. The
report will provide reader with some useful insights on the issue by the means of a case study
which will discuss the history, the present situation and future consequences of the problem. In
order to gather the required information, the author has used the method of secondary collection
of data. The report will also provide recommendations which will help in the eradication of the
problem up to a major extent (Amelung & Nicholls, 2014).

2. Introduction
Climate changes have always been a big issue for the global economy and especially for
Australia. From the various sources, it has been researched that the issue began in the starting of
the 21st century has been persistent since then. According to the report of CSIRO, published in
2013, the region is constantly becoming hotter due to which the continent may have to deal with
a serious issue such as longer fire seasons, extreme heat. There has been witnessed a significant

rise in the temperature due to which not only sea level is rising at a rapid pace, but also affecting
the sea life near the region.
3. Method
There are various methods that can be used by a researcher in order to gain information. To
present the information in this research report, the author has used the qualitative method of data
collection for which various published journals, books, articles have been used the usage of
quantitative data is only limited to the data that has been presented in these qualitative sources.
